Re: Looking for something like Pay Pal that is more suited to Rails

Based on the details you provided, you are asking quite a general task and I can't help you that much.

I don't know what's your experience you have with Ruby on Rails in general, but the best thing I can do is to give you general development suggestions.

Try and write down what you are trying to achieve and then break everything in small steps, and document that as an algorithm.

Usually when I have something that's too complex to wrap my head around I do something like this in the controller or whatever.

---

# Add stripe

# Create stripe account

# Get stripe credentials

# Add stripe gem

(...)

# Connect stripe account to existing user

---

After you have your initial list, you can break down everything and retry the steps.

This list is best to offer specific help, and answer specific questions that do not require too much set-up from us (some might be busy enough, and have small window of time to check the email, etc).

To get help for big problems the best thing would be to pair program with someone.

You can either pay someone for their time and they can pair with you (you can search on google, there are various sites), or try and ask for someone to pair with you on a different channel like on this mailing list, or an IRC channel.

Sorry I could not be of much help, but good luck with your task.Don't give up, if things are hard, take smaller chunks to work on from the task.
